start here (Free verse) by jsd
âwake up and shake dreams from your hairâ*
early morning, my mind is still bare.
days start slowly, and everything is frozen.
as the first hazy minutes pass, I tend to break openâ¦
I got ancient blood on my hands,
and what must be hundreds of movies in my headâ¦
of my feet sinking into the sand
spending the entire day in bed
and reaching out to touch an invisible hand
I ache to feel overjoyed -
thrilled -
and my heartâs wholly spilled
â¦to cease this happenstance floating
to stay far away from sugarcoating
to feel the struggle to survive
to be unwise
in uninhibited emotions
courageous, in love, and frightened
face threatening forces
to be unsafe in my own mind
to find someone of my kind
and when everything is brokenâ¦
GOOD MORNING, SUNâ¦
Iâm young and involved in dangerous thought
I want to look back and believe that I fought
and never hear âshe was young and involved in dangerous hearts,
but she never once let herself startâ¦â
still feel that itâs better to have everything broken
than to leave everything frozen
and if any of you ever want me
youâll have my companyâ¦
start here.
